Description

69 High Street in Dalkeith is an earlier 19th-century tenement building that stands three stories tall and features four irregular bays. The ground floor includes modern shop fronts, while the upper levels are constructed from stugged squared and coursed rubble, with rendered and painted masonry around the shop fronts. The building has ashlar dressings and mullions, droved raised margins, a base course, and a band course between the fascia and the first-floor cills, along with a lintel course at eaves level and an eaves cornice.

On the east elevation facing High Street, there is a keystoned and moulded depressed-arched pend leading to Wilson's Close West, located in the outer left bay. The decorative late 19th-century shop front divisions are retained, consisting of three panelled piers that divide the irregular bays, each featuring carved panels and paired consoles. The first and second floors have regularly spaced windows, with the outer left bay notably wider. The inner bays on each floor have broad tripartite windows.

The west elevation has been regrettably altered, featuring a pantiled and rubble two-storey house attached to the right and a large blank modern warehouse addition to the left. The north elevation facing Wilson's Close West is blank. The south elevation is adjoined to a modern building, Nos 63 and 65 High Street.

The building has plate glass glazing in the sash and case windows, coped skews, and a harled gablehead stack on the south side, while the stack on the north side has been removed. The roof is covered with grey slates.
